This year’s fall is a good season for all Harry Potter fans. Potterheads must cancel all of their plans this coming October 21 and 22 as they have to fly to Philadelphia for the 5th annual Harry Potter Festival, which will be held at the Chestnut Hill College.
Harry Potter fans will not only enjoy a Pub Crawl and a Harry Potter Conference. The biggest surprise for them is an actual experience to hop aboard and ride at the infamous Hogwarts Express courtesy of Philadelphia’s SEPTA regional rail lines.
Aside from a ride at the Hogwarts Express, HP fans can also enjoy a real-life version of the Hogsmeade Village, which contains its very own Quidditch tournament where anyone will have the chance to compete.
Those who want to learn Professor Snape’s techniques can take Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. No HP fans will be left thirsty during the event as there will be HP inspired butterbeers and different tea variants from Madame Puddifoot’s Tea Shoppe.
The whole Chestnut Hill will cover a six-block area for the event. Event organizers said that tickets will be soon be available this month so Harry Potter fans must prepare.
